SCOTLAND *L OILING or FLYERS IN SPINNING AND-LIKI."` FRANES- Application ined December e, 192s, serial No. 324,226,Y ,iiGra-srtani December 21h92?.`

This invention refers to flyer spinning and like frames in which the iiyer is supported laterally above the flyerlegs and has for its objectthe improved construction and forced lubrication of suchV flyer bearings. l

According to this invention in flyer spinning and like frames `in which the'yer has ailk lateral support above the iiyer legs, a driven yoil reservoir is provided, preferably inside of' l I-the wharve and a member inside Vof theioil `'cup stationary or rotating at a less speed thanf the oil cup and adapted to force the oil while workingfrom the oil cup to the lateral sup,

port, and to cause the oil to circulate through the support. The latter support may be parallel or tapered or it may befa ball or roller bearing. s Accompanying this` specification is one Asheetro'f drawings wherein Figure l shows our invention applied to a lateral conical sup- 2 port;V Figure 2 illustrates the inventionin connection with a ball bearing lateral support, and Figure 3 shows another form having a ball bearing lateral support. 2 In giving apractical example of our invention asapplied to the flyers of a jute spinning frame, we employ (see Fig.,1) a top rail 1,V

a bushv stud 2 fixed on the undervrsiderof the top rail andcoaxialjwiththe spindle on a 3 lifting rail 3 of ordinary construction and traversed in an ordinary manner, and a bob- Y bin fon said spindle. The bush stud 2 here y'shown is 'bored with ataper, wide at its lower 'lend 21.-V 'In the bush stud 2 we mount a tapered axle 5 which is adjusted and kept verf tically in position by a threaded nut 6. Be-

. low thethreaded nut G-we place a ball thrustwasher? whichsupports the taperedaxle 5.

'. The taperedaxle 5 has a hole 51 through its '4 'axis for the yarn to pass to the flyer legs and spinning bobbin 4. The lower end 52 ofthe taper axle 5 extends to a suitable distance beyond the bush stud t andV has on it a shoulder and threaded nut 8. Between the shoulder and threadednut 8 we fix a wharve 9 having 'a disc 91 in;A which flyer rlegs V10 are held.

Above the disc!)1 is aV wharve 9 the outer sur- 2 and l theft-apen axle 5g insidesanie.

studlfwe mount two ball bearings '14 and 15at-a=su'itabledistance apart. On the outer race of the ball bearings we mountva wharve 16 having a tube 17 passing upwards through I the lixed hollow stud `18 but clear ofthe same. vOn the wharve 16 at its lower endwe lix'or form a discV 161which has flyer legs 18.y In

162 into which the oil is forced centrifugally `when revolving.k Own the outside of the fixed hollow stud lopposite the oil groove reservoir 162 the bottom of the oil groove reservoir. As the wharve revolves the'oil is forced inwards .tothe ball bearings and thus lubricates them. y

In giving a third example of ourinventionas applied also to a jutespinning frame in which Vwe mount ball bearings on the axle of the flyer V(see Fig/n.3), rail 20, -a'hollowvstud 21 fixed in the same and extending Vdownwards coaxialV withthe spindle, a pair of ball bearings 22 and23, the outer races supported on they inside 'of the hollow stud 21 and the inner races fixed on theaxle 24 provided forthe flyer wharve 225. Y* A hole 241 .is boredthrough the axlev of the we fix a 'flat finger 19 extending towe employ a topV vso i the .Outerwallofthe wharve 16 above the up!V per ball race, we form anoil groove reservoir Yico axle 24 for the yarn to pass downwards to the bobbin 27. The flyer wharve 25 is made' with a Ygroove 251v forming an oil reservoir on its inner surface and situated above the 5 ball'races. On the outside 211 of the hollow stud 21 we mount a flat plate 26 extending into the oil groove'reservoin An oil hole 212l is bored through the hollow stud2l to Carry the oilforcecl inwards by the flat plate 26 lo to the upperv side of the ball bearings 22 and 23 thus to lubricate them, the oil returning to the oil Cup 251.

We claim: -Y

l. In flyer spinning or likev frames, a wharve above the flyer legs, astationary" member, ball bearings' inside'of said wharve constituting `a lateral support for -said wharve, andan outer ball race supported on said stationary member, in combination with a stationaryoil'nger on said 'stationary member adapted to catch oil rotating within said wharve andV to ,carry the oil 4inward to theball bearings while thewharve is rotat.j
